Wonderful world for Wendy

Last week while Dr. Vicki, Derrick, and I were making our home visits, we met a sweet german shepherd juvenile, we now call Wendy. When we asked the head of the house about her, he said, "She is a stray and you can take her", so Derrick and I quickly put her in the van hoping no one would change their minds.

SHY WENDYShe was very shy and submissive and rode in the back of the rescue van on a leash, as we already had 5 crates full of pups and dogs. She checked in at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue and Dr. Vicki gave her vaccinations, wormer, and frontline.
Later that week she was spayed at the local vet.

Sandy had put me on the task of finding her friend Chris a german shepherd to replace her longtime shepherd who had recently passed across the rainbow bridge. Somehow I knew it was Wendy she was looking for!

Well, Wendy left this morning riding with Ellen to the metro where she met Sandy and soon was at Chris's house which is Wendy's new forever home.

THIS IS WHAT SANDY SAID ABOUT WENDY:

Dear Karen:
I have no idea where Wendy came from, but she is the MOST WONDERFUL dog-what a sweetheart.

I picked her up in St. Paul and she rode in the back of my car on a blanket-didn't need to take a kennel-she stayed in the back peacefully all the way to Chris's house...

Once she got there she was friendly to everyone-gets along great with Bonny (Chris's l0-year-old shepherd)-- goes nose-to-nose with the cats -- everyone is peaceful.

We sat outside with her for about two hours-she got to explore the fenced yard and adjust to her new siblings. What an incredibly sweet and smart dog-she is absolutely perfect.

Talked to Chris a bit ago and she said the Wendy was scared by her fan and her refrig-but adjusted quickly and was lying on the floor peacefully taking a nap.

Chris is beside herself-the may be the nicest dog she has ever met-and she has a number of rescue dogs...I cannot thank you enough-I would love to have her myself and I am not a dog person!

XO~S

We are so happy that Wendy now has a great life- Thank you all for helping her.

Sincerely, Karen RLRR
